He died on Wednesday, August 10, 1887 His illness was several days' dura tion, and he was attended at his bed side at the time of his demise by his several sons aud daughters in McPherson and Ellsworth. His was a well-spent and useful life.

The Missouri Pacific We published yesterday a Topeka special to the Kansas City Journal purporting to have come from Missouri Pacific officials of that city, stating that all Missouri Pacific branches except the Geneseo line, would at once be abandoned, at least for the present. In speaking with Mr. Beatty this morning on this subject, he said that there was no Missouri Pacific office iu Topeka, except his own, and that his stenographer was the only Missouri Pacific official iu the city, so the aforesaid information could not have come from any very elevated or reliable source. He also said that in a letter from Mr.

Clark which he received yesterday, instructions given in regard to proceeding with the work on their different brauches, and no intimation of abandoning any of the lines. In regard to the northern line he said he thought it would be built, but that they had more time on that line than on some others, and hence were not in such a hurry to commence operations. The dispatch referred to must have eininated from the Inventive mind of some sensational reporter and we are glad to know it is not founded on facts, and that work will be pushed on the M. P. lines as fast as possible iu this section of the couutry.

Kansas Missionary Baptist Sunday School Convention. This convention assembled at 8 a. Tuesday, August 9., with Rev. G. W.

Browu in the chair. After de- exercises was held' 'the dif- feient committees were appointed, such as committee on finance, divine service, executive board, etc. The messengers arrived from different points, among whom were Rev. P. Johnson, of Topeka, Mrs.

J. F. Ready, of Ottawa, and Rev. Barnes, pastor of the First Baptist church of this city. Several topics were discussed.

A Sunday school missionary aud col porter was placed iu the field for the benefit of the work. Whkrkas, the Sunday school had been meetiug for the last three years In connection with the aaociation it was Jiettolced That the Sunday school meet separarately from the association. The Sunday school convention will meet with the 2nd Baptist church, of Lawrence, June, 18S8. Essays were read by Miss L. A.

Walls, of LaCygne and Miss Emma Gray, of Ottawa. Rev C. M. Williams preached a very telling sermon at 8 p. m.

Text: "Be still and know that I am God." The finance committee reported a collection of $17.69. Convention adjourned to give place to ministers and. deacons union. The "Humanica" at the roller coaster last night was quite an institution. "Oh they oughtn't to fool the people so," laughingly said some.

The singiug and playing was good, of which fact all may be assured when we say Wes. Aldridge and Col. Rogers "blowed the instrument." Now, if the management will import a swlnette their cup of happiness will be complete.

The people should learn to take a joke. The uuny mau on the Gazette gives a graphic description in his paper this morning, of a supposed sensational affair that happened there yesterday, in which a young man tried to get his truuk from a boarding house so as to leave the town, and winds up by he went to Salina. The young mau probably would have paid his' board bill if he could secured work, and we don't blame him for trying to get to a live town, where labor Is plenty.

Upon a Policy which has run Twenty-Five Years in the Home Life Insuranco Company, of New 3Tork, and another which has run Twenty-Five Te ars in the Equitable Life Insurance Company, of New York, each Company being about the same age at the time of the issue of the Policies. The Equitable Life Insurance Company persistently boast of being able to do a larger business than any other company, and claims this to be advantageous to the insurer. Still the following comparison shows that a large amount ot business expanded and extended, and the practice of writing large lines ol insurance upon one life to the amount of $100,000, as the Equitable Life does, is not furnishing insurance at its lowest cost. the meeting. After the meeting everybody adjourned to the parlors and witnessed the skilful maneuvers of the Amazon March, and all agreed it was splendid.

Supper of fruits and ices at 10:30, afterwards some eu joyed themselves with cards. dancing. singing, etc. At about 12:30 the company broke up, all declaring they had a very enjoyable time. The names of those present were: Mixses Hays, Bruner, Ross, Lulu Baker, Minuie Baker, Boggs, Burns, M.

The Santa Fe to be Pushed. Capt. Kilmer, the right-of-way man of the Santa Fe railway, arrived in the city last evening, bearing complete instructions to proceed in the work of securing right-of-way of the line between Abilene and Salina. His arrival as bearer of good tidings is a verification of the paragraphs which have been published in this paper in the past few days that the road was to be built without any delay whatever. Capt.

Kilmer is accompanied by two engineers, and the right-of-way is to be secured at once, in this and Dickinson counties, and also the permanent survey made. These gentlemen commenced on their duties to-day. As soon as they get out of the way the graders will be placed upon the route and the road pushed foward and reach Sal iue at a date not later than November 1. The appraisers appointed for Salina county by Judge Hinds, consisting of A. Wel lington, Peter Hughes and B.

L. Wilson, will meet on Monday the 12th of next month, to go over the line from the east line of the county to Salina aud finish up any appraisements of property that may require their attention. The duties devolving upon them are apt to be incon siderable, as Capt. Kilmer will per sonally make terms with all property-owners for right-of-way as far as he can do so to the of both parties. Institute Notes.

The franchise and voting places in the county were given in constitution. The registration of voters was next spoken of and election boards In city and country. This was quite Interesting.

The ladies were trying to give their ideas of how they should vote aud the apiearance of ballot box. The school economy class was treated to a paper by Miss Coombs on "Teacher's preparation before entering the piofession," by Mr. Per- rill; "Does the best scholar always make the best teacher," by Mr. Mitchell; on, skill gained after one begins to teach, is gained at whose expense?" Remarks were mndeou these papers by Messrs. Ryding, Wallace, Williams and others.

Sol.

Leu-brie will return and locate In Abileue. If one-fourth the people had located there that the Gazette has claimed within the past year, they would not have been afraid to show their census returns.

The voting of the aid asked In Glendale and Pleasant Valley townships, Saline county, on Monday last, removes the last obstruction to the Immediate building of this road by the Rock Island company.

This morning rather early a knock was heard at Capt. Monler's residence, and his house keeper, answer-lug the sumraous, was asked if there was where Capt. Mohler lived, to which she answered In the affirmative, but said he was still The gentleman then handed the lady a note for the Captain 'inviting him down to the advertising car of Dor-rls Colvln's circus, which had arrived during the night. The invitation was from Mr. Brownewell, who served for two -and one-half years under Captaiu Mohler during the war, and in Mohler's language, "don't you forget it, he was a good soldier." This is-dnly another evidence of the tie of remembrauce that bind together the boys who went through those bloody scenes side by side, and which will exist until the last old soldier is laid to rest.

We will also state that the. present surplus of the two Companies is as follows: The Home has a surplus of $31.77 per cent, upon every $100 of its liability, while the Equitable has a surplus of $21.39, showing that while the Home has sold insurance during the entire period ol its existence at 9 per cent. Equitable.

All who are intelligent upon the subject of Life Insur less than the Equitable, still it has ity of 10.38 per cent, more than the ance, will readily understand that ability; therefore it is very easy to the larger the percentage of surplus decide from the foregoing which will sell insurance the cheapest during the next twenty years.
